      Hello guys

      I have setup pfsense, it is workable. But I just checked that in packet manager available package information not showing. It show only unable to retrieve package information.

      I have tried pkg update -f and result is network unreachable while fetching data from repo.

      Also checked by shell that not able to ping google. Com but able to ping 8.8.8.8

      But ping to google working via pfsense web portal.

      I have used pfsense version 2.4.4_1

        Please stop posting support requests in the General Discussion forum. This forum is for discussion of things other than pfSense, or related to pfSense.

        For support, try posting in either General pfSense Questions or one of the many specific forums for various features of pfSense.

          So what is your pfsense setup on - actual physical hardware, or on a virtual machine? Have you installed ANY packages yet like snort, pfblockerng, or anything else?

                    So, what's your internet connection look like - DSL, cable, fiber, wireless, cellular? How do you connect to your ISP - DHCP, PPPOE, static IP?

                    What does it say in your Interfaces page, under Status in pfsense? Is your gateway up and running? That's located in Status -> Gateways.

                    Did you make any additional rules, besides the default install stuff, on your WAN or LAN networks?

                        Yep, of course ^^
                        He blew up DNS, very classic.

                        @patelsaheb :
                        Did you add 'somewhere' DNS addresses ? => don't. Undo that.
                        Did you change anything in the default Resolver ? => don't. Undo that.
                        You'll see, DNS starts to work.
                        When you have a working setup, like the initial pfSense install, always add your changes one at the time, and test.
                        As soon as things go wrong, go one step back, test that it works again, and document about your last step.
                        "so easy ... this method works for every aspect in live - pfSense included"

                        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                        Edit : and where are the logs ??

                            Yeah, I know. Welcome to the club (half - if not more, of all DNS problems start with 8.8.8.8 ...).
                            You sold all your 'private' DNS info to Google, and add to that : it broke DNS.
                            Go back to 'normal resolver settings (no forwarding) '(remove dot 8 and 4.2.2.2 - ), until you figure out how to set up things correctly.
